as extreme islamist groups in syria me to get hold of these stories the problem is that these will have for the war the assad regime we could so it really don't it was then go to the most city that is in the west for one side trying to get rid of assad without a placement for him and on the other side being the free these groups will take on the cause of these kinds of weapons so it's sort of nonsense. to do this we are witnessing. the issue of syria's been raised at the annual u.n. general assembly gathering this week because russia called on those who support the rebels to stop sidestepping international law the long running question of whether iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons was also up for heated debate with israel trying to draw up quite literally a case for intervention but important allies in new york for us. as world leaders

gathered for the annual u.n. general assembly international anger over and islamophobia american film was still blazing in the muslim world addressing the world body u.s. president barack obama condemned the video nonetheless defending the right to free speech as president of our country and commander in chief of our military i accept that people are going to call me awful things every day. and i will always defend their right to do so obama also pledged his support for arab spring nations like egypt and libya however when egypt's new president spoke at the un for the first time mohamed morsi said free speech will not be accepted as a free pass to insult islam holy prophet. the obscenities recently released as part of an organized campaign against islamic sentences is unacceptable and requires a firm stand egypt respects freedom of expression one that is not directed towards

one specific religion or culture but the opening of the un general assembly is usually criticized as political theater with a lot of talk this year however there was no talking with us president barack obama the leader of the country hosting the un left immediately after his speech on day one and held no bilateral meetings on day to the eighth and final speech of the always controversial iranian leader so accusations of corrupt western politics and a subtle tipping of the hat to the occupy wall street movement are we to believe that those who spend hundreds of millions of dollars in election campaigns have the interests of the people of the world at their heart in the united states and in europe their voices are not heard even if they constitute ninety nine percent of their societies meanwhile israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu called for a military alter made on iran over its nuclear program using some surprising methods to illustrate his point this is a bomb this is a fuse

a red line should be drawn right here before we iran completes the second stage of nuclear enrichment. necessary to make a bomb israel stole the show in more ways than one would be. what's more the wiley coyote nuclear bomb. you really got of her tandem are you going to pretend that you don't know what a nuclear bomb was like. to hear israel. run downstairs and look in the basement on another us show russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov recalled another time props were used at the u.n. to garner support for military intervention. when my good friend colin powell colin powell was shaking this violet's some white ball in there in the

have no doubt that such sanctions especially when they are applied next territorially weaken the unity of the international community and undermine the effectiveness of its efforts the un was originally founded as an arena for all parties to respectfully discuss issues and diplomatically collaborate on solutions as the sixty seventh year of the general assembly begins many are left wondering why at least one country has cemented a pattern of acting alone or in a port ny r.t. new york. some of the stories making today's world news this hour a series of bomb attacks targeting shia communities has killed at least twenty six people and some sixty eight more were injured in explosions in several cities from the country south remains. the deadliest blast for entire g. eight died in fact the car bombings no injured admitted those attacks. libyan authorities have encouraged people who handed their weapons at a bit to boost security amnesty areas already been set up in the country's capital

know version twenty twelve on r.t. . ok welcome back to the week no t. highlights the big stories of the past seven days with me kevin zero in a major political conference is underway now in turkey as prime minister edwin said to be reelected as the leader of the country's ruling party for the last time and it won once again slam the regime in neighboring syria however dr hussein bag chief of the middle east technical university told me and chris policy on damascus is deeply unpopular with turks themselves the turkish government has miscalculated the events in syria they have expected that the arab spring would be heading to the kitchen like india and like internees or in egypt out there all this. leave but in case of syria turkey has been indeed in the last five years particularly very very

a lie and of course the fact that the taliban are resurging again and reemerging is just and evidence and i think the international community the world public opinion should really ask hard questions and pose these tough questions to nato about the nation building project in advanced on where is it and where did they go wrong and why did the international community and the countries of the region had to pay and invest so much in afghanistan and give so much confidence really to to to the united states to nato to do something good in afghanistan which hasn't happened and of course they're leaving afghanistan as the burden on the stability of their region and as a burden on the countries of the region. george is saying some of his biggest opposition rallies today with over one hundred thousand people turning up pre-election demos in the capital out of the country's second largest city to on saturday judges will choose the next parliament tomorrow the anti-government mood being fueled by the recent prison. mass protests and international condemnation of

now recently the like documents that came from the u.s. that will reveal the fact that julian assange and wiki leaks have been named. and it is even there any clues that wiki leaks the people who work with wiki leaks could end up committing. wiki leaks that would look like like to take ventilation the coffee cup you know got done and the overall although i detail. that the u.s. government said well the palace would probably didn't know about. well you know to just come for a minute so wiki leaks spokesman explains the limits on journalistic freedom and the future of whistleblowers across the globe.

permit to cut down absolutely healthy trees and sell the profitable to member over the border in china we are on the hunt for illegal loggers and it's not going to be easy the forests or nets in our chances are slim now for now we can stay in our dreams but as soon as we find solid tracks we'll have to drop our wheels and get out silently in order not to scare the loggers off alexander some more in ca has been a ranger for over twenty five years he can spend weeks at a time tracking a single group of loggers easier to work when snow falls in autumn it's impossible to find human tracks and even transport tracks are hard to see after hours of driving we get sent in the right direction by word of mouth you can see that the ground is soft here which means that this twelve the tractor trails are very fresh which in fact means that we need to be quite. in order to not scare them off as we get closer. this team says they're illegal but have no

documents now xander can now call the police to take over his work here is done he's overwhelmingly outnumbered there are too few rangers working in the promote the region and the w w f says the government isn't doing enough to stop it i guess the government now for more of. the. forest and according to. the guys in the in the forest through the still. steal doesn't work just. as no one tries to stop them in just five years the force will be gone. to china and what will the people who live afterwards do like it's a question more and more people are aware of today climate change in the safety of our environment as a whole are being discussed around the world and perhaps it's those small steps that might be a start to people living in harmony with nature. joining

me for our one on one exclusive interview kristin. spokesperson for we. thank you very much for sitting down with our. reports have come out. with an animal. what does that mean for joining us on ten with really well it means that he has a very serious concern that if he has actually done it here you would be treated. the enemy an enemy combatant. and we all know what that entails this is an indication that we see him in documents that have sort of that show that that communicating with we can loose and providing we can is with information in considered is considered communicating with the enemy which is aiding the enemy. we can use is the enemy. and what is we can use it's

a platform for whistle blower to get information out to the public we are doing what any media organization should be doing we are doing journalism and the implication is that journalism getting the truth out there is considered. an act of an enemy which is brother against the muslim or is it published. i mean i'm not trying to discredit what wiki leaks is doing but there's a difference a little bit of a difference it seems to me like wiki leaks is accepting information and publishing it they're not going through it they're not asking questions about it they're publishing it if we can leaks julian us on to others a part of weeklies decides that it's important for the public to know this classified information they will publish it so is it journalism or is it publishing it is part of the journalist so that your music.
